EcoQuest Dealers Sell Air Purifiers
Air Purifiers a way of life for EcoQuest Internation Dealers:
Face-to-face meetings aren't a new strategy for Ken and Mary Dockery, Master Managers from Spring Branch, Texas. In fact, they built their business on them. Maybe that's why the Dockerys couldn't resist being some of the first Business Owners to participate in Mike Jackson's meeting challenge. Earlier this month, Mike challenged Business Owners to schedule 100 public meetings in February.
Their first public meeting since the challenge, held in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, was intended to help new Business Owner Dan Gaskin get his business off the ground. And did he ever! Dan and his new recruits, Dwayne and Amanda Roberts, enticed 25 people to their meeting with a new and interesting technique. They handed out Free Energy for a Year coupons with their invitations.
"In order to activate their coupons, they had to go to the meeting and listen to the presentation," says Ken. "I thought it was innovative and creative - and it worked!"
Dan and the Roberts also raised interest in their meeting by focusing on a community problem - skunks. "Everybody in their neighborhood was 'skunk conscious' because skunks had been getting under houses and spraying," says Ken. "That's actually how Dwayne and Amanda got into the business. They go to church with Dan, and they were talking about skunks getting under the house. Dan's wife told them that Dan had something that could help. Dan put the unit in, and it totally eliminated the odor. So they got excited."
Flyers announced the meeting with a double-header agenda - an answer to the skunk issue and a chance for free energy for a year.
"Eight units were sold," Ken says. "Two Business Owners signed on - one is an electrician who is very excited about the PowerwoRx, and the other is the Animal Control guy who tells people how to get rid of their skunks!"
Not only that, but Dwayne and Amanda will be picking up a Master Pack. This meeting truly met people where they live, says Ken. "Identify a problem and offer a solution. Then people will listen to you. As we've always believed, if you want to build this business you have to go far enough into the lives of others to bring them back out with you."
Ken and Mary now are planning more meetings. "We've done one meeting. We've got two more scheduled. We'll have at least one a month, and probably two a month. We built our business on meetings, but we got away from it a couple of years ago. We use every available strategy. Frankly that's what has allowed us to stay alive and sustain our business."
